Ingredients
  • 2 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and shredded or cubed
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup light butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup coconut
  • 1/4 cup pecans, chopped and toasted
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp coconut flavoring
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla
  • Toasted coconut, optional

1. In your crockpot, combine potatoes, sugar, butter, coconut, pecans and cinnamon. Cover; cook on low for 6 to 8 or on high for 3 to 4 hours.

2. Stir in coconut flavoring and vanilla. Sprinkle with toasted coconut if desired.

MY NOTES AND THOUGHTS:

I've made this in the oven, too. Just combine everything into a covered casserole and bake at 375 or so for a long time.
